Wednesday’s Life Lesson

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving Eve! Many of us are preparing to spend  time with family and friends as we gather around the table on Thursday. But someone is dealing with grief as they read this post. That could resonate in the loss of a loved one, the divorce, the absent parent, the estranged child, and so much more. I need you to pause today to check on those who may be suffering in silence. Those who are cooking with memories in their hearts and tears falling from their eyes. Those who are devastated by life and how the grief seems unbearable most times. Those who are sitting at a table with an empty seat. Those who have worked hard to push past the pain, but it still hurts like it just happened. Those who had to depend on others for assistance this year. Listen, most days some of us do our best just to show up for the day. Today, don’t be so busy to reach out to that person whose load feels heavy and grief has overtaken their joy to do the things that use to make their heart smile. Be the person you would want someone to be for you. Call them, check on them, pray for them, love them, but most of all show up for them today. You never know when it’s your turn. In a world where uncertainty seems to drain the most confident person, check on those who check on you and show up for you. Even in the hard place, even in the grief, even in the tears, always remember that you are loved. Lady T🩷
